Sérgio Amaral: Brazil, U.S. views increasingly “converge”

January 9, 2017 by

Brazil’s Ambassador to the United States, Sérgio Amaral, said Monday that U.S. and Brazilian views on trade and investment are increasingly in alignment. In a radio interview, he said, “There are opportunities for us that we should learn to take advantage of.” He said the advent of a Republican administration in Washington, sharing power with a Republican-controlled Congress, represented a historic opportunity to boost trade and bilateral investment. He specifically cited prospects for increased cooperation in areas of defense and energy. “Our [the Brazilian] presence in the U.S. is still less than it could be,” he said. “We are not realizing our full potential.”
